Apple今天宣布，他们的在线iTunes电影销售商店，将与各大电影的上映时间保持同步。

这也意味着，在电影上映的当天，你就可以在iTunes里购买到这部电影，直接下载来观看，价格为15美元，老电影需要10美元左右。

iTunes里同步发售的电影包括了Fox、迪斯尼、华纳、派拉蒙、环球、索尼、Lionsgate和新线等，只缺MGM。

这不仅将对美国的Amazon Unbox、微软Xbox live等在线DVD销售形成打击，而且还将对DVD市场带来革命。


注:根据回帖是和DVD发售时间同步，不是和电影上映时间同步。

对我们没影响，天朝10年内，直接下iso（or rip or rmvb……）的方式不会改变……

看来官方下载还是趋势。

这消息确实在国内没啥意义

15刀太贵了，我看电影一般才8～9块，从来没超过10刀的。
都是一次性的话，不算油钱或车票钱，这这种服务对DVD和电影院的压力并不是很大。

哦原来还不是和电影院同步，那傻子才花15刀买这个。。。

这个是和DVD相比的。DVD在国外都得$30左右的吧。

15美元应该是售价，不是租赁价，720P的质量
和Amazon上的BD相比不算贵，唯一的缺点是没有物理上的收藏感觉

很有意义，盗版商或者我们不用自己RIP了
